Books Included in This Collection:
The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
On a distant island of imagined friends, Beekle is born and waits for a real child to imagine him. He sets off into the wide world in search of belonging, meeting a shy, bookish girl named Alice. Their unlikely friendship unfolds with warmth, humour, and a gentle reminder that every child can imagine someone special into being. Beekle’s story celebrates imagination, courage, and the magic of finding your place in the world.

Are We There Yet?
Are We There Yet? follows a family on a car trip to Grandma’s house, where the journey seems to stretch forever. Imagination becomes the route through a landscape of dinosaurs, Ancient Egyptians, knights, and pirates, turning a mundane drive into an extraordinary adventure. Time may appear to slow or reverse, yet the joy comes from shared storytelling, playful discovery, and the bond that grows as the trip unfolds. This tale invites readers to dream aloud together.
After the Fall
After the Fall features Humpty Dumpty after a tumble, a broken egg living with fear of heights and a toppled sense of balance. He can’t even reach his cereal on the top shelf, until a new passion—bird-watching—stirs courage he didn’t know he had. Page by page, Humpty’s transformation shows that fear can be faced in small, meaningful steps, and that curiosity can open doors to new confidence and joy.
